All 4516 mags will work, the newer mags had redesigns due to the then changing hollow point designs for .45’s.

Seems like surplus mags have dried up recently. I bit the bullet and bought some Promags that seem to work well.

Thanks to both of you for responding, I assumed that was the case but wanted to get more info before buying mags. Factory mag prices seem to run between $45-$75... damn... if the ProMag's work just fine they seem to be in the $30-$35 range. |

After paying $175 each to buy magazines with a ten round capacity for a Sako TRG22 (and that was when they were on a big sale!), $45-75 per magazine doesn't seem so horrible. But factory Glock magazines at $30 each are certainly less painful.
I hope OP finds some magazines that will work at a decent price. |

I have a few mags as I already have a 457 and 457S which supposedly takes the same mags. In reality, I probably have more mags than I will ever need or use. |

Picked it up today, condition is as advertised. Doesn't look to be fired much. Very happy with the purchase.

Quote HistoryQuoted: Good looking third Gen OP, congrats! Yeah, I agree. …. Very nice, OP! These compact .45s in the 3rd Gen 45XX-series (essentially S&W’s version of an “officers model”) are very underrated guns. |

Very nice!
I should get one of those to go with my 4506 & 4566.

Congrats on a nice pistol. That is one of the biggest problems with 3rd gen guns, expensive mags. On a side note, I would get some extra springs and Numrich is a great place to find extra parts if need be. I got some for my 3913.

The GB prices are high but with any of the Smith 10XX-series guns the real ass-bite is the 10mm factory mags. The well-used ones are going for $75 a pop, the like-new mags (with white followers) are going for north of $125 when they appear. It wouldn't surprise me if a NIB 10XX-series mag got $175-$200. |

I saw that... I've started to sell off excess stuff and I'm looking...

What did it cost you? Any chance it came from a guy/gal in Ga? I saw one for sale in a Ga forum recently for ~$525 and had spent up all my play $$ and missed getting it
